[MOD][Update 15-AUG] Enable hidden "battery low"+custom sound+unlock repeat option

Hi!

I found this yesterday when i was pissed off, that i don't hear sound notification,

that my battery is low and my phone turn off outside when i need it working.

My first "discovery" (maybe everyone know that, for me this is new) is that in \Windows\

is sound file lowbatt.wav and this file is sound of low battery notification, so we can replace in by any sound we want.

I lookin for registry assocation of this file and then i found how to enable "Low battery" possition

in Settings>Sounds and notifications>tab "Notifications">first drop-down list.

​

To enable this option please import REG file from attachments. It casuse in this drop-down list appear "Battery low" option.

If you want to have this possition in your language, there is source code and you can modify "Battery low" from las line,

copy this whole code, paste to PC Notepad and save as "*.*" and file name *.REG and in next step send it to phone

and import to registry with Resco Registry:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Notifications\{A877D663-239C-47a7-9304-0D347F580408}]
"Duration"=dword:00000000
"Options"=dword:0000000F
"Wave"="\\Windows\\LowBattery.wav"
@="Battery low"

In attachment you can find my custom sound - alert sound like from Avast Antivirus.

Update (25-07-2010):

I created CAB, which enable "Battery low" menu and replace original lowbatt sound.

Update (15-08-2010):

I modified my CAB. Now "Repeat" option is unlocked too.
[HD2 General] FRANQ_23_PL:
Unlock all notification methods

I discovered another thing: how to unlock all notification methods (except "Repeat") for selected

notification like in screenshot in first post.

All totifications are placed in registry in:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Notifications

and this branch's looks like {15F11F90-......}

(this branch corresponds for "Notifications" option in notifications drop-down list).

To activate all notification methods we need enter to this branch and delete DWORD named "AvaibleOptions".

This is it - all methods will be unlocked now (except "Repeat" of course).
[HD2 General] FRANQ_23_PL:
Aditional notification positions in drop-down list

This is not good examined by me (because i discovered this yesterday),

but i found how show aditional notification possitions in drop-down list,

but i dont know for what exactly match.

Maybe someone from you guys (and ladies) can sniff arround this to help indentify it.

That are branch's:

{0D3132C4-....}

{3C781384-....}

{70C48D00-....}

{9DA772A9-....}

{A877D65D-....}

{B67B425B-....}

{C3465585-....}

{DDBD3B44-....}

This positions can be activated and appear on drop-down list by editing first string vaule (Default) and enter in "String" for ex. "UnknownNotification1".

Please if anyone feel, that can help with this, so let me know. Any help is welcome.

UPDATE (15-08-2010):

I looking for some info how to unlock and enable "Repeat" function for notifications and i found it on forum.

I decided to make REG Tweak to unlock this option for all notifications.

This tweak is CABbed like usual ;)
[HD2 General] stretch4x4:
Wow good work, just got my hd2 and want to mess with the notification settings.

Be great to see a cab that unlocks all of them including the unnamed ones so that we can choose in the normal settings :D
[HD2 General] FRANQ_23_PL:
There is REG file which enable 4 hidden notifications. Other branch's dont having path's to wave file, so i ignore them.

When you test it i recommand to enable on screen notifications - it helps to indentify it.
[HD2 General] stretch4x4:
Sweet,

Going to do some testing on my old touch diamond see if I can get them all unlocked even without sound, then that way people can set sounds and other options later.
[HD2 General] pakure:
good find mate :D:D
[HD2 General] FRANQ_23_PL:
I waiting for replies about this new notifications.

I uploaded battery low alert sound to first post in two recognized formats: WAV and WMV. You can copy both files to \Windows\ folder to later select it in settings.
[HD2 General] FRANQ_23_PL:
I added a CAB to first post which enable "Battery low" and replace original lowbatt sound file by alert sound form like in Avast antivirus.
[HD2 General] Macelangelo77:
Thanks. Just what I was looking for. I wasn't searching actively, but somehow I discovered your topic, which looks very useful.

I'll report my findings.

Grtz,

Mac
[HD2 General] sumflipnol:
This is great!:)

But may I ask: At what percentage of the battery remaining will the notification "ring"?:confused:
[HD2 General] FRANQ_23_PL:
10 and 5 % of battery. Unfortunely i dont know yet how change it to one-ring-per-procent.
[HD2 General] FRANQ_23_PL:
If someone having English language ROM, please post screenshot from the same place like in first post.

Thank you.
[HD2 General] sumflipnol:
All I did was apply the reg-tweak in the code of the first post, then I changed the sound to "Alert-Unlink" that is in my current EnergyROM.

Thanks again for the mod.:)
[HD2 General] FRANQ_23_PL:
No problem. Thanks for screenshot m8. ;)
[HD2 General] pee-wee:
work on WM 6.5.x, what about WM 6.5, is it work too??
[HD2 General] bart3385:
Hi there. Can you help me find how to tweak Mobile Excel? Specifically, how to hide "headers" and "scroll bars". This option was always available since PPC2003, up to WinMo 6.1. But, strangely, it is greyed in HTC HD mini. Is it because of WinMo 6.5.3? Or is it because HTC intentionally disabled this? I don't know. But i like to learn how to unlock this important feature from the registry.

Thanks. :)
[HD2 General] karmatose:
This is AWESOME! Thanks much for sharing!
[HD2 General] FRANQ_23_PL:
Take a look on screenshots. From left side you have this on WM 6.5, from right - WM 6.5.x

You must give me more details, about Office version, phona and ROM you have - on PM, because this OT.
[HD2 General] bart3385:
First of all, thanks for your effort to look into my problem. :)

Phone is HTC HD mini.

Mobile Office is the stock that comes with it. Upgrading to Mobile Office 10 also inherits the same problem.

ROM is 1.36.707.3 (94538)WWE

ROM daTE IS 06/18/10

Problem: In Mobile Excel, unable to hide headers and scroll bars.

(My apologies. What is "PM"and "OT"? Where do i find these?)
[HD2 General] Macelangelo77:
Both are abbreviations. PM stands for Private Message. You can send someone a private message by clicking on the username left to a post and select "Send a private message to ..." (see attached screenshot).

OT stands for Off Topic. For example: a post regarding Pocket Excel in a Low Battery notification topic is Off-topic ;)

Sincerely,

Mac
[HD2 General] bart3385:
Thanks. :) Learned a new thing today.

I did as you instructed. Sent a private message. But after sending, it doesn't show up in the sent message folder. Is this normal?
[HD2 General] Macelangelo77:
I noticed that too yesterday, but the PM I sent did arrive. Maybe it's a setting, haven't had time to figure it out.

EDIT: It's a setting :-) You can find it in Quick Links > Options > Messaging & Notification > last option has to be ticked to place a copy of your message in Sent Items. Don't forget to click Save Changes after you ticked the option, it's at the bottom of the page.

Sincerely,

Mac
[HD2 General] bart3385:
Thanks, Macelangelo77. :)

Sorry for dragging on the OT here.
[HD2 General] FRANQ_23_PL:
Enable "Repeat" option for all notification's

I looking for some info how to enable "Repeat" function for notifications and i found it on forum. I decided to make REG Tweak to enable this option for all notifications.

Another change is modification in "Enable battery low notification" tweak. Now it include possibility to mark/enable "repeat" for this (and all - 1st post) notification.

You can find it in 1st and 3rd post.
[HD2 General] Fishawy:
Hi,

Thank you for the CAB, it's working. Two things:

Instead of the "Battery Low" text, I see it "Bateria slaba". I was able to modify the string, but I guess it wasn't written in English when the cab was being created.

Dunno why or how, but Sense won't launch after installing the cab. Was okay before it, and it's still failing after like 4 soft resets. Looks like am gonna hard reset :) .. Any idea why?
[HD2 General] lucus_d:
Hello mister, thx for the reg file, I have a HD 2 with a Dutty Rom, I install the cab file, I have the repeat option in menu, but it still stops the red light after 10 or 15 of blinking. can u help me please?

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Orsetti:
Hello,

after a few months with my HD2 working right, yesterday my WinMo Crashed and I got difficulties to restart it. After some tries I was able to restart WinMo and the phone worked a short while. Then the same happened.

So I thought, it would be a good idea, to reflash my HD2. Therefore I used the flashaholics tool 1.1. Everything seemed to work fine, the Task 29 was finished, and afterwards Artmemis v24 was successfully flashed. All seemed well. But...

from then on when i start, my HD2 enters the bootloader and nothing else. I can do a hard-reset, Works! But restarts in Bootloader. I can do a reflash through USB and this works as usual. But on restart -> Bootloader. I can reflash it via SD. So I reflashed stock 1.66 ROM via SD card. Everythings works well -> Update Complete - UPDATE SUCCESS. But after restart? Of course... Bootloader.

If I reflash my Stock 1.66 ROM per SD, I have the official bootloader back installed. Thats ok. But I cant use HSPL 1.42 any more. Only HSPL 3 works. Then I have HSPL bootloader. But even then my HD2 always enters bootloader and does nothing more. Anything seems to work. With one exeption:

If I try to do a task 29 via flashaholics, the HD2 switches its screen to the HTC Logo, but the bar remains at 0%. And after a while my PC gives me error 262.

If I do a task 29 with mtty, then I get the following lines from mtty:

Format BINFS start

Fill RSVD information for block 497 to 530

CE start start block=530, total block=3566

TAG NOT FOUND !!! NOT CLEAR STORAGE !!!

Format BINFS end

And if I start my HD2 with the SD card in it, that contains the leoimg.nbh, then he automatically enters the menu, where I can press Voldown to cancel update or Power button to start update.

I have no way of coming to the white htc start screen. My HTC always enters the bootloader and thats it. And it is not a problem with the VolDown button.

Is this a hardware problem? Can I do something else? Has anyone an idea? Would be nice to hear some ideas...

Thanks in advance

Markus

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Uvaavu:
Wrong radio version for the ROM you're flashing?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Orsetti:
Was my thought too. But I can even install any radio version I want. Installation works flawless, then restart and... bootloader. Besides... if I install the 1.66 stockRom over the SD card, Bootloader, OS, RadioRom and everything else is set back to original. This always worked.. until yesterday. But thanks for your idea. Any other ideas?

The fact that the HD2 crashed a few times, before I tried to reflash it makes me wonder, if tehre was a error in the flash memory. And maybe I wasn`t able to reflash correctly, because there is an error within the memory? Can this be, what happened? Can I do a memory check on the phone?

Just a new idea...

thx

Hello,

I have got the same problem like Orsetti and agentemulder had.

Does anybody know how to solve it?

Fabian
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Orsetti:
Hello fabhoff,

in my case, the problem was indeed an error within the flashram. I sent the HD2 in and got a new one.

i got same problem..
[Droid X General] ssorensen:
Ok so this is my first time using android os and i have to say its awesome. I about had it with windows. My only problem is the Droid x seems more like a pda then a phone. With my HTC Touch Pro 2 i could just start dialing the number on the keypad and it would narrow down my search instantly. With the Droid im stuck to using favorites or scrolling through the list.

Is this a motoblur thing and im just used to the awesomeness of HTC?
[Droid X General] bblanski:
Try dialer one from the market.
[Droid X General] exempli_gratia:
I think this is actually the Android standard (unfortunately). The EVO has this type of dial-to-narrow-down-names functionality, but I think that's something HTC added for Sense.
[Droid X General] dezoris:
The HTC Android phones with Sense also have this feature. Motorola does not.

You really start to miss sense and HTC when you see all the little things that you don't have on the droid.
[Droid X General] Zaphod-Beeblebrox:
This is one of the big reasons I stayed with WinMo for so long. This was default behavior for WinMo since Smartphone 2002 (my first).

I actually left WinMo when the 1st Droid came out, but took it back within my 30 days to get a TouchPro2. Despite a number of replacement dialers in the marketplace, I just couldn't replicate it effectively. I also had issues with Android 2.0 and Exchange, so it just wasn't a clean fit.

I've now dropped my TP2 for the Droid X and still kind of miss this functionality. Not enough to give up the phone this time, but I might investigate some dialers again.

-Z
[Droid X General] exempli_gratia:
They each have improvements they've added. Unfortunately can only get one or the other. :(

For instance, the DX has the iphone-style text selection (standard Android and HTC text manipulation sucks).

The DX's dialer has done minor pluses, like easier/quicker access to the contacts list. But the HTC dialer is nicer. Not sure I'd say that about Sense overall.
[Droid X General] dezoris:
Its true it depends on what you are used to, but one things for sure if you are used to Sense or came from HTC winmo phone you won't like the Droid as much because of the missing functionality.
[Vibrant General] jason701802:
Is there a way to make my Vibrant change "modes" based on location and time like the MyTouch 3G Slide? I mostly just want to be able to change the ringer mode, for example to make it silent when I'm at school.
[Vibrant General] youneek:
Please post questions in the general section.

There is an app called locale in the market.
[Vibrant General] lou0611:
locale is based on you GPS and or Network location and depending on how you set it, it will mute vibrate or ring... Its great program.
[Vibrant General] joeyd161:
I recently got a Vibrant, I'm coming from Mytouch 3G slide. The one thing I need is the mymodes feature.

I looked at the locale suggested above from the market but its $10, can anyone suggest anything else?
[Vibrant General] ttabbal:
There used to be a free locale. There's also tasker, cheaper and more versatile. I don't know of any fee ones, but tasker has a trial version you can download from their web site.
[Vibrant General] gbzbar:
PhoneWeaver does exactly what you want, and more. I have been using it for quite a while, and I used the MyTouch Slide for a while, and the features and abilities of PhoneWeaver are superior to those of MyModes feature in the MyTouch. $7, but worth it.

[Vibrant General] kstar54:
Profile changer....free and works great....
[Vibrant General] kstar54:
sorry for the double post...
[Vibrant General] paradox4286:
Tasker is by far the best I've seen, it also adjusts for many many more scenarios
[Vibrant General] courtmagician:
+1 for Tasker, although it has a learning curve to it (unlike Phone Weaver and Locale), but its functionality is far superior.
[Vibrant General] joeyd161:
thank for the info guys, downloaded tasker & ya has a lot of options to choose from.

Going to play with a few of these & see what happens

I just need something to change my ring tone while at work then at 5pm switch it back
[Android Software Development] Snowtoad23:
I've got the Legend with Sense. I'm just not quite sure how much Sense includes, which bits are Sense and which are standard android..

I know the HTC widgets are Sense, but the only ones I use are the clock, calender and footprints (though I could do without the last 2)

Is the contact linking system where details from facebook etc are taken and merged with phone contacts part of Sense?

Is the smart dialer where you can put in a number or search for name at the same time Sense?

Basically, if I switched over to an alternative home app, what exactly would I lose?

I like the Sense bar down the bottom which has app tray button, phone and the +, it looks real smooth and borders nicely with the notification bar, looks better than the screen abruptly ending at the bottom imo. Are there non-sense clones/alternatives to this?

Cheers
[Android Software Development] vegaman:
If you keep the Sense ROM and use an alternative launcher you keep the same phone and contacts apps. But you lose the app tray and the ability to use the HTC widgets, they only work with Rosie as the launcher.
[Android Software Development] Snowtoad23:
I see thanks. And I can still use all the HTC Apps e.g. Photos and Music?

Does anyone know of a similar app or something to replace the bar thing at the bottom of Sense, with app tray, phone and + button?
[Android Software Development] le3ky:
Try launcher pro or adw launcher. Both offer much more and better looking functionality than the sense launcher
[Android Software Development] Snowtoad23:
I've been tempted, but the main things I'm worried about losing from Sense is the bar down the bottom with the easy phone button, and the pretty weather animations that play fullscreen from the weather/clock widget after unlocking the phone.

I think that being a phone, the 'phone' part of it deserves the more integrated and dedicated phone button like that... rather than it just being like any another app
[Android Software Development] JAguirre1231:
The weather animations on the home screen are part of the Weather-Clock widget. Switching to an alternative home will make you lose the ability to use Sense widgets, so you will lose that.

LauncherPro and ADW.Launcher allow you to customize shortcuts you have next to the app button so the phone button is not a problem.
[Android Software Development] Snowtoad23:
Yeah well there are clones of the Sense clock/weather widget but they don't seem to do the nice weather effects.

And yeah I could have the phone button down next to the app button, but it will still just be like an app icon, not a dedicated and integrated natural looking bar or something

hi everyone

wonder if someone can tell me how to disable calender and contacts sync from google on my htc desire

i dont mind syncing gmail but to disable the rest
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] ProfKay:
Goto Settings -> Accounts & sync

Select the Google account

un-tick Sync contacts and Sync Calendar
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] JasonFH:
That works after you setup the account but there does not seem to be a way to disable the initial sync of calendar and contacts and once I disable syncing of those items it does not get rid of any that it has downloaded.

Any other thoughts on how to disable syncing of google calendar and contacts from the start?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] dsMA:
reset yoyr phone to factory specs. then restart your phone. when the htc setup wizard starts skip over everything. once the home screen loads go to settings, sync. now uncheck calander and contacts. now click on add google account, enter in your google information. calander syncing and contact syncing now should not occur (make sure they are still unchecked though)

Hi,

In my Desire S,

------------------Ignore this part - solved

under Manage Accounts, there is google and a few others.

I want to remove some of those others like News, Weather and Stocks.

How to do that ?

-----------------

need an answer for the part below.

Secondly there are some processes which i can see running on process monitor but do not show on the app drawer. they are probably related to some telco apps which i do not need and would like to uninstall.

Would this require rooting ? Any other way to uninstall those unnecessary apps ?

thanks

thanks

I was just wondering what the optimal resolution for wallpapers to show up as clear and crisp as the stock wallpapers. I was using an image that was 5000x4000px (obviously way higher than the screen res), but after cropping tool I could see that it wasn't as clear, something was compressing/lowering the image quality.

Anyone have an idea of how to get a correctly sized image to show up at full quality?
[Vibrant General] hackeclipse:
Nevermind, I found that 960x800 is a good resolution that wont cause resizing/recompression. Hope this helps everyone.

Hi,

I've just gotten my Vibrant over the weekend and now I'm noticing after I allow google.com to use the "location service" (first time it works fine), when I browses to some other sites then comes back to it, or just simply re-open the browser in a later time and goes back to google.com (mobile version btw), the browser just closes itself.

I've also tried a factory reset and still was able to reproduce this issue.

Now if I do NOT allow the location service, everything would be working fine.

Is anybody else having the same issue?

my phone is not rooted.

Thanks.
